Oh hey! It’s been a while, so I think we’re overdue for a life and business update!
The end of last year/beginning of 2026 was an extremely scary time for me, I started struggling with some pretty severe depression and burnout.
While some days I still struggle, I’m happy to report that I’m in a much better place mentally now than I was, all thanks to my family, close friends, and my decision to pursue an exciting dream.
In January I started the process of looking into bookselling and starting a bookstore in Mt. Juliet (surprisingly we didn’t have one here that wasn’t a big corporation), I did my first drop of books and the business took off.
We’re on our way to opening a store front at the end of September.
It’s all so exciting and while I’ve been insanely busy, I couldn’t be happier.
Monday Morning is still fully active. I’ve been working on a few big projects and just haven’t had the time to bring my head above water and post about it.
But as I’ve been going through this process of running two businesses all while raising an autistic child who is homeschooled I’ve learned so much more about what projects I love working on and what drains my energy. I’ve learned that just because I have the skills and ability to do something well, doesn’t mean I need to keep doing it if it’s at the expense of my mental health.
Going into 2027 we will no longer be offering websites to clients who don’t go through our branding process.
I love working on the strategy and creative part of the branding process. I love to help build the foundation for a business’s marketing. I love working on the tiny details that feel like little hints of magic - the sticker that a business owner passes out at their booth, the little illustration they use on their social posts. Tiny opportunities for creativity that make a big impact are my favorite thing. It’s truly what fuels me.
From here on out I will be focused on creating truly unique branding that is only human-made. So if you or someone you know is looking for an artist who creates strategic and beautiful branding, I would love it if you could send them my way!
